This is the first formal writing course I have taken although I have been writing for the last 6 years now. Ma'ams knowledge, patience and the way she handles the students and their queries is commendable. I am looking forward to attending more courses in future. Thank you and best wishes to the team.

It's been a privilege to gain hands-on experience with the creative writing workshop I attended with you. Though I was not able to attend the live sessions, I religiously made use of all the resources shared on the LMS. I have got into the daily writing challenge and would love to share my flash fiction piece for your review. I understand writing is a continuously evolving skill, and I am glad that you have been able to successfully ignite that spark. I wish to continue to be in touch with you. God bless the team and the wonderful endeavors that are continuing to thrive.
